Teri says “Slated was written on hope: hope that one day it might be published, hope that it would then find its way into the hands of readers, and hope that they might like it. I'm absolutely thrilled, delighted, and more than a little astonished that Slated has captured readers' imaginations as well as their votes for these awards.”
We were extra thrilled for Teri that Fractured, the second book in the trilogy was recently in the shortlist for the SCBWI Crystal Kite Awards, together with Candy Gourlay's Shine, which won the Award, and Elizabeth Wein's Rose Under Fire. It was a tough shortlist to choose from!
You'll be pleased to hear that Orchard Books have acquired a further two books from Teri Terry. The first, a futuristic thriller, is scheduled for publication in March 2015.
Some of you will be with Teri this weekend at the SCBWI Writers' Retreat at Dunford House.
And here are some more pictures taken at the launch of Shattered at the Islington Waterstones in London. There were YA authors and Scoobies a-plenty. See if you can spot them in the piccies below. Thanks to my daughter Anushka Tay for taking the photos.
